hundreds of thousands had their holiday plans completely ruined by some fucking dweeb who probably thought it was really funny.

Worst part is airlines don't have to refund anyone.

The saddest one was a story in the news of a woman trying to get to New York to see her dying mother and she's lost two days of the time they have left.

They just need to not miss. Plus, those things have a small operating range. It shouldn't be that hard to isolate the signal :(

Strange things about gatwick:

1. How come the military with it's equipment cannot track the drone leaving?

2. The drone has been reported to stay in the air for quite a long time (according to multiple people on twitter, commercial drones only last maybe 20-40 minutes, and it has stayed in the air far far longer)

3. Why not shoot down the drone? (some people think there might be a nerve agent or bomb, and the operator wants it to be shot down)

Not only that, but if there is someone operating it, it's been going on for days, so that rules out one person doing it.

some people think it's ayy lmaos LOL

If this hadn't happened at Christmas, I think it would've been a great example of the new generation of anarchy.

But happening at Christmas, it annoyed me. Lots of people going to see family and friends, to say nothing of going off on holiday.

And this is the country who weathered the London bombings?

Worried about a tiny projectile falling out of the sky at the pace of gravity? They don't really think bullets maintain velocity as they come down from the sky do they?

WTF. A (probably at least partially) drunk Russian dressed like a medieval farmer was able to knock a drone out of the air with a fucking spear, and the entire British military can't do anything but harumph and say "Oh bugger, best close down the runways, that bloody drone is back."

That's some sad shit.

Nah, it's different at Christmas.

Do you know what fascinates me? The fact that one person (possibly) with just a drone or two, which probably cost less than 1,000, has disrupted the operations of a major Western airport, and the lives of over 100,000 people. I mean...how is that even possible? It would've been really hard to have done this 20 years ago.

The problem with hitting a drone in the air is that it can get out of control and unpredictable crash into something in a big enough radius.
Worst case scenario, people can die.

It's Christmas. People have important plans (sort of), and it's a time we're nice to each other. Then, at the beginning of January, we can start being horrible to other people again.

People have important plans all year round. Plus why would an anarchist care whether it's christmas or not.

This might be a dumb idea but couldn't they do something like take a helicopter for fighting wildfires and scoop the drone up in the tarp that the chopper drags?

Typing that up actually sounds really stupid, since I just realized that's my solution to 90% of the problems in Scribblenauts -_-
